Capo 1 

Intro: D 

verse 1 
D                                             G 
In downtown Modesto I was workin' the Holiday Inn 
        D                                                     A 
I would stick with a gig that would last us throughout the weekend 
      D                                            G 
I was singing a new song I'd wrote on the way into town 
         D                                      A            D 
When she came in the front door and found her a place to sit down. 

verse 2 
D                                                   G 
Hey I knew right away that she like the words to my song 
          D                                                   A 
Cause she stared at my git guitar and followed my fingers too long 
    D                                             G       
And she had the likeness of a girl I'd seen in my dreams 
    D                                      A          D 
But lights can do wonders with make up and faded blue jeans.

        D                                              G    C B G 
And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind 
     D                                                    A 
So I found a hundred reasons for lookin' her way one more time 
          D                                              G 
She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar 
    D                              A           D            
And blow all my chances at bein' a big singing star. 

verse 3 
D                                                          G 
With one passin' glance I could tell she was young for her age 
         D                                                   A 
Yeah she got to looking better as she got down closer to the stage 
           D                                                 G 
And as she sipped on her wine I knew just the kind she would be 
    D                                  A             D 
And somehow I knew she was here to the bad things to me.

        D                                              G    C B G 
And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind 
     D                                                    A 
So I found a hundred reasons for lookin' her way one more time 
          D                                              G 
She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar 
    D                              A           D            
And blow all my chances at bein' a big singing star.
